Dear students and faculty and staff members,
Welcome to the Spring 2024 semester! I hope your winter break was restful and enjoyable.
Earlier this month, the University continued the observance of its 125th birthday with one of its oldest – and rarest – traditions. On the first day of the year, members of the University and local communities gathered on the Health Sciences Campus and planted five live oak saplings.
Dear students and faculty and staff members,
Thanksgiving is next week and, like many of you, I have been reflecting on the people and things for which I am most grateful.
Among many blessings this year, I am grateful for my family. I am grateful to have a job I love at a place that’s given so much to its community for so long. And I am grateful to be part of a campus that cares.
Dear students, faculty and staff members,
This year, the University is celebrating the 125th anniversary of its founding. And while the past century and a quarter have been monumental, I believe strongly that our best days are yet to come.
Today, we’re launching our 2023-2028 Strategic Plan – “Vision. Louisiana.” – that provides a blueprint for even greater success.
Dear students, faculty and staff members,
Welcome to the fall semester and the new academic year!
The fall semester is a special time in the life of any university. It’s when new students find their footing as they begin their academic journeys, when returning students rejoin old friends and make new ones, and when clubs and organizations and athletic teams again enjoy the camaraderie of events and competition.
